Perhaps that is the first in a long line of traditional Newfoundland dishes. Up next cod tongues (though they are a little hard to find now, due to overfishing and the fact that you need a pretty big fish for the tongue to be worth eating) and seal flipper pie.

I'm with you about the counting down. It feels like you are getting close when you just use the row numbers, though I usually do it by number of repeats left. In my current sock I have 1 repeat left to the heel, which is a lot easier to think about than almost halfway done.

Between knitting/crochet/craft books and cookbooks (not to mention yarn!), I ran out of shelf space ages ago!!! They are stacked all over the place. I'm currently trying to figure out how to cram more shelving into my apartment.

That looks like what we call "Corned Beef" her in NZ. Ideal winter food as we put it in a slow cooker all day so that when we get home at night the smell has wafted all through the kitchen. Apologies to any vegetarians out there but it smells and tastes delicious, especially with a mustard sauce.

I have not one, but TWO copies of that book with the cute red-haired girl, having inherited my mom's stash of knit and crochet books when she passed away. Mom made a blanket and a sweater for my babies from that book. I have a huge stack of books, too-where oh where to put them.

Your beef looks really good. My hubby has corned elk in the crock. He made it without nitrites and nitrates so we'll see how it tastes. Much healthier anyway!
